A total of three Malaysia Airlines flights are now scheduled to depart Melbourne today.

Victoria Police chief commissioner Graham Ashton said the suspect was a 25-year-old Sri Lankan man who was released from a Melbourne psychiatric facility earlier on Wednesday.

The Australian Security authorities have screened all baggage and it is being transferred on the respective flights that passengers are rebooked on.

Malaysia Airlines’ technical and cabin crew that operated MH128/31May will not operate on flights until further notice.
A fresh set of crew will be operating MH128D.

“An investigation led by Australian authorities is currently underway and Malaysia Airlines wishes to extend its appreciation to everyone involved during the emergency situation,” the carrier said in a statement.
